Use something like:
my $LoginName;
my $TMPNow;
Etc.

I suppose you meant "==" instead of "= =".
"=" is an assignment. "==" is a comparison.
I can recommend Learning Perl or one of the other nice beginners books,
you wouldn't get into these things then. And use strict and warnings
always, from the beginning of all new scripts, it helps a lot.
Have a nice day
